Jazz In The Ferry 2017

The Sunday afternoon packed with top class musicians returns to Broughty Ferry with three hours of music across five intimate venues.

There’s something to please all tastes!

2017 line up:

James Brown is Annie:"One of Scotlands top bands of the moment" (BBC Radio Scotland), funk and groove based sextet fronted by guitarist/vocalist, Aki Remally, inspired by the likes of Average White Band, Steely Dan and Little Feat.

Mike Whellans: “One of Scotland's heroes, a bluesman of amazing ability...a totally brilliant one man band” (Mike Harding, BBC). After a sold out show at the Unicorn last year, Mike is back for a thrilling afternoon in the Ferry.

Havana Swing: Inspired by Parisian jazz of the 1930s, Havana Swing are a tight four piece band who play the sometimes languid and sometimes lightning music of Django Reinhardt's Hot Club de Paris, with subtle harmonies and with energy, passion and charm: "happy, jaunty, feelgood jazz executed with great panache" (The Herald).

Luca Maning & Alan Benzie: A consummate jazz singer with a luminous tone and expressive phrasing. He’s surely going to be Scotland’s best. Catch this phenomenal new voice in the best way – his spellbinding duo with lyrical pianist, Alan Benzie, playing impeccable standards.
